About Gentle Ben
Sleeved or not sleeved:
I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
I had three cardioversions over the past year. My son was terminally ill with leukemia. He asked me to fight obesity, since he was fighting cancer. He explained he is fighting hard, and can't change the outcome, while I can change the outcome, but don't fight. I made him a promise to fight. I stayed with him during his last 60 days of life in the hospital. When he wouldn't eat, I wouldn't eat. After losing 50 lbs, and having a contingency plan to get a gastric sleeve, I had it done. My son saw me fulfill my end of the promise before he died. If I had not lost the weight, I don't believe my heart would have survived. My son saved me.

I had surgery a few months ago, and leveled out at 90 lbs lost.
I found a way to keep my stomach flowing as along as I ate popcorn and sugar free pop cycles at the same time. In have starbucks coffee and protein shakes during the day...nuts and raisins...and gatorade. I never fill up. I can do about 2k in calories per day this way. When I go back to my MD diet and eat 3-4oz of protein first, I am so full I am uncomfortable and can't eat for 45 minutes. I lose my appetite and can't get any
